| paris, switzerland and italy so far . . |
hey guys, i found a somewhat cheap place to go for internet, so yay for that!
paris was amazing. i loved how we could see the effiel tower through our window and the sacre coeur was really pretty lit up at night, you could see the icity as far stretching out forever at night from there.
switzerland was better than paris in my opinion. less smell of urine and more of just gorgeous scenery. it reminded me of bemidji (if you forget the fact that it had about 4 times the population and magnificent mountains all around it). i spent most of monday just sitting on the side of the lake, working on a good sunburn and watching everyone walk around and the swans swim in the lake. the mountains were absoluetly gorgeous. we took a tram up one. great veiws from there, execept that it made me want to go snowboarding pretty badly. i remidied that by stomping around in the snow up there, resulting in a lost shoe and a wet foot.
the first night in swizterland we went to the stadkeller, which is this restaraount that puts on a "traditional" show including lond horns, brooms, wine glasses, harps accordions ect. it was actually really fun to watch and it brought the whole group together for a night of fun.
we got into florence yesterday after stoping to see the leaning tower of pisa. we took the classic pictures, and also a weird one that LB and i have started to take at any so called classic tourist sight. we do a really stupid kungfu pose in front of whatever object it is. they always turn out goofy, but it is fun to do anyway.
we had a tour of florence today. we were able to see michalangelos sculptuire of david which is amazing to see in person-. the sheer perfection of it all the way down to the veins in the neck and hands. it was done without any models or pre-working at all. just amazing to see! then we did a lot of what we always do, walk around until we are one of the following: bored, tired, broke, thirsty, in need of a bathroom. then we came back to the hotel, went out again to a supermarket then came here to happy internet land.
the food here is amazing. we have had some of the greatest meals ever. and itailan gelato is really really yuummy. i think one of the things they pull on eurospring is to make you eat cafeteria food for the first 5 weeks to make sure that you will be easily impressed by anything they feed you after that.
im attempting to upload some of my pictures, however its beeing really stupid and not letting me upload much at a time.
thanks everyone for all the e-mails, sorry i canàt respond individually, but it is nice to know that i am missed and hear whats going on witheveryone. happy birthday to kristi (incase i dont get online for a while) and congrats on finding an apt kevin and jodi! i miss you all!! oh, and get a hold of lucas of andi for an invitation to my little grad party my mom is having on the 12th.
i miss you all and canàt wait to see you after the 10th!!!
